The place is named after the great Prophetess and healer Syokimau of the Akamba people. Syokimau Prophesied the coming of the white people to Kenya and also prophesied the construction of the Mombasa to Kisumu railway line. In her prophecy she said she could see people of a different colour carrying fire inside waters which was later to be understood as white people in vessels carrying matchboxes and guns. She prophesied seeing a long snake that whose head was in the Indian Ocean and the tail was in Lake Victoria.

Transport

In November 2012, the Kenyan government officially opened a new metro rail service station in Syokimau, with a service leading to the Nairobi railway station and the Central Business District. Syokimau is serviced by 2 trains to Nairobi town in the morning, with 2 trains back in the evening every weekday.

Syokimau is the location of the Mombasa South railway station, the main stop for Nairobi on the Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway. The new station is being built next to the existing Syokimau station, which allows passengers to transfer from standard gauge trains to metre gauge trains to reach the Nairobi city centre.
